Teladoc Offers Free Virtual Care for Those Affected by L.A. Fires


In response to the devastating wildfires that have ravaged parts of Los Angeles and surrounding areas, Teladoc Health is stepping in to offer vital support to affected individuals.

The company announced it will provide free, 24/7 virtual healthcare services to California residents and first responders impacted by the fires.

For residents facing the immediate challenges of fire-related health concerns, including smoke inhalation, respiratory issues, and stress, Teladoc’s telehealth platform offers quick access to medical consultations without the need to leave their homes or put themselves at risk.

The free virtual care includes access to licensed medical professionals who can assess symptoms, provide medical advice, and prescribe medications when appropriate.

With many healthcare facilities overwhelmed or inoperable due to the fires, Teladoc’s remote healthcare service is a crucial resource for individuals in need of medical guidance and treatment during this crisis.

Teladoc Health has a history of providing similar support during past natural disasters, including previous wildfires in California, Oregon, and Colorado.

In 2020, the company extended free telehealth services to residents and first responders during wildfires that affected multiple states, ensuring that individuals had access to immediate care at a time when physical access to healthcare was limited.

“Teladoc Health is committed to supporting communities during times of crisis,” said a company spokesperson.

“We understand the importance of access to healthcare when disaster strikes, and we are proud to offer our services to help those in need during the L.A. wildfires.”

California residents and first responders can access Teladoc’s services by visiting the company’s website or downloading the Teladoc app, where they can sign up for free consultations with a healthcare professional.

With air quality levels in many affected areas reaching hazardous levels and healthcare systems strained, Teladoc’s free virtual care initiative provides an essential lifeline, ensuring individuals can receive medical assistance when they need it most.
